Simak lirik dan chord lagu "He Went to Paris" oleh Jimmy Buffett.

A
He went to Paris
Looking for answers
D                                           A
To questions that bothered him so

A
He was impressive
Young and aggressive
D                                       E
Saving the world on his own
 D
Warm summer breezes
          A
And french wines and cheeses
D                             E
Put his ambitions at bay

  A
Summers and winters
Scattered like splinters
         D                       E        A
And four or five years slipped away

A
He went to England
Played the piano
     D                                       A
And married an actress named Kim
A
They had a fine life
She was a good wife
     D                                               E
And bore him a young son named Jim

      D
And all of the answers
         A
To all of the questions
    D                            E
Locked in his attic one day
 A
He liked the quiet
Clean country living
           D            E                    A
And twenty more years slipped away

A
Well, the war took his baby
Bombs killed his lady
      D                           A
And left him with only one eye
A
His body was battered
His whole world was shattered
      D                                     E
And all he could do was just cry

     D
While the tears were a' fallin'
   A
He was recallin'
            D                       E
The answers he never found
          A 
So he hopped on a freighter
Skidded the ocean
          D                   E         A
And left England without a sound

A
Now he lives in the islands
Fishes the pylons
       D                                 A
And drinks his green label each day
A
He's writing his memoirs
And losing his hearing
         D                                    E
But he don't care what most people say

    D                
"Through eighty six years
        A
Of perpetual motion,"
        D                                          E
If he likes you, he'll smile and he'll say
A
"Jim, some of it's magic
And some of it's tragic
        D                      E          A
But I had a good life all the way"

A
He went to Paris
Looking for answers
        D                E                        A
To questions that bothered him so
